Insulation shall be in substantial contact and continuous alignment with the air barrier (insulation must be installed in contact with drywall). A continuous air barrier shall be installed in the building envelope. Install thermo-ply or wonder board adjacent to tubs and shower bases, plywood at soffits adjacent to exterior walls, 5/8 type X drywall at pre-fab fireplaces, etc. (all must be sealed). Air sealing shall be provided between the garage and conditioned space. Provide solid blocking in floor joists separating attics above garages and conditioned spaces.

The R -value is reduced by R-1 or more when insulation is compressed. Closed cell spray foam insulation may serve as an acceptable air barrier.
